A HowIisg Blizzard.

Chicago, ILL, February 1S.-0le
frail, patched up wire extending in a
zigxag, circuitous route from Chicsgo
by way Of Dsmiug, N. M, end Los
Angeles to San Francisco, is the only
medium ofteleg aphic communication
tonight between the cities OF the East
and the entire country west OF the
Rocky Mountains Bad as the situa.
tioa is the telegrsphic Off isls consider
themselves lucky to have even one
poor string avail able. The manager
OF the Western Union said that the
series of storms. lasting three weeks,
and apparently Just eliminating, had
been practically without a precedent
sioce the company's lines west Of
Chicago had reached the dignity of
being called a system, For nearly
three eeks now the elements had
been waging continuous warfare on
the country between the Missouri
river and The mountains, and one tel
eg'aph ronts after auolher had grad
uslly been rendered useless wreck.
Last night was the climax. At the
very moments that rain and lightning
were making life miserable in the
vicinity OF Chicago, q sleet
storm was raging in Wisconsin
and beyond st. Paul bowling
blizzard was in progress. To The south
falling and drifting snow held poses
sion Of the Union Pacific road, and
beyond, in the same direction, a
"norther" was tearing Thugs loose,
and down in Arizona, on tue south
ern route, had developed into ter
rife sand storm. Miles upon miles OF
poles and wires, especially upon the
Uoiou Pacific, have bien borne down
ia almost mex Ticsbe confusion.
Those maintaining their position in
mid air are crossed, tangled and
broken in a manner that will take
many days to repair. Tonight the
whole system is virtually hors du
combat, but the telegraph men think
thst their weeks siege is about at an
end, and that telegraphic communica-
ton will soon be ressorsd between the
East and the Pacific coast.

BILE, and the fact that Mr.. Clinton will
be largely inter, sted aud thus seouve
to the company the benz fit OF his 6ne
business talent, will go far toward
establishing confidence Ia the entSr.

there is no question about succeeding.

intention 70 msks a move at that time.

deal this section of Indiana has been taking re-

a connecting link between Cincinnati and St.
Louis, which will be made by building seventy
miles of road reaching from Columb bus to Switz

sidy of per cent. in the various counties has
been asked, and voted as far elections have
been held. In Monroe county the election in
five townships will be held Aug. 9. and they
will perhaps carry with one exception. In
Green county the managers are taking options

acres. for some of which they have paid 81 per

Facts and Rumors Regarding the Recent
Transfer of the vandalia
One who thinks he knows the program
says II. G. Stiles is to be made general agent of
the c.. II. & l. AMI the Vandalia at this point
and Harry Wetsell joint local agent
Baltimore & Ohio expressmen claim to have
information which makes it certain that between
this and the LIST of July their messengers will be
running over the Vandaia- The programme is
said to be for the Adams to remain on the road,
but to do only their through BUSINESS the
Vandaiia, the Baltimore g. Ohio taking the local
business.
An observing railroad man. and one who keeps
posted at to the movements of the more i'm
portant roads, predicts that the Pennsylvania
and the c., l.. ST. L. & c. will join hands and
build road from Indianapolis to Terre Haute
and then make fight for the st. Louis. Vandalia
Superintendent Sherwood was yesterday noti-
fed that on Sunday next the through train which
has been hauled between Cincinnati and St.
Louis over the c., l., St L. & G. and the Van
dalia would be thrown off the Vandalia and
trains of the c., II. & D. substituted. Such a
notice was no surprise, and before it was received
negotiations had been opened with the Bee-line
to haul the through car Of the c., L.. St L. & c.
the L. & ST. L., maintaining their position
St. Louis well as a Chicago line Colonel
Hill, assistant general manager of the Fandaia,
was instructed to transfer the equipments of the
Vandalia which have been hauled in the solid
trains the c., l.. St. L. d G. to the c., H.
II. e. ID. and the Vandalia may commence run
ming that date between Cincinnati and st.

Said an eminent railroad lawyer yesterday. if
any man set of men believe that the proud
aristocratc Pennsylvania people are to quietly
take their medicine and be subjected to the
<trol of the c., II. & d. in their line between In
dianapolis and St Louis they do not certainly
know the men who managing the Pennsyl
vanis. They will, he said. soon make their in
tentions in the matter known and they will be
bold and aggressive.
The citizens of Terre Haute it is said. are feel
ing more reconced now that Colonel Hill, the
assistant general manager of the Vandalia, is to
have his headquarters there. There other
provisions in the deal with the c., Il. & d.
which President NicKeen looked after which
will in due time come to the surface, and some
who felt bitter toward Mr.. McKeen for selling
out when he had good opportunity to do so
will come to the conclusion that ne Is the same
friend of that city which he has been since he
made it his home.
Traffic Manager Lazarus, of the l.. D. & S..
supposing that the notice given by the c., H. &
ID. to the c., l.. ST.. l.. g G. that they would no
longer haul their through trains for St. Louis
in the nature of surprise, offered to let the

rangement that the l., d. e S. has with that
road. but after the proceedings of Saturday
